Nahum 1

1 [the] oracle of Nineveh [the] document of [the] vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:

2 [is] a God Jealous and avenging Yahweh [is] avenging Yahweh and a lord of rage [is] avenging Yahweh to opponents his and [is] maintaining he to enemies his.

The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for His enemies.

3 Yahweh [is] long of anger (and great of *Q(K)*) power and certainly not he will leave unpunished Yahweh [is] in storm-wind and in storm way his and [is] cloud [the] dust of feet his.

The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

4 [he is] rebuking the Sea and he made dry it and all the rivers he dries up it withers Bashan and Carmel and [the] blossom of Lebanon it withers.

He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.

5 Mountains they quake from him and the hills they melt and it lifted up the earth from before him and [the] world and all [those who] dwell in it.

The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.

6 Before indignation his who? will he stand and who? will he endure at [the] burning of anger his rage his it is poured out like fire and the rocks they are pulled down from him.

Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.

7 [is] good Yahweh a refuge in a day of trouble and [he is] knowing [those who] take refuge in him.

The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.

8 And with a flood [which] passes over complete destruction he will make place its and enemies his he will pursue darkness.

But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.

9 Whatever you will plot! against Yahweh complete destruction he [will be] making not it will arise two times trouble.

Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.

10 For to thorns interwoven and like drink their drunkards they will be consumed like stubble dry full.

For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.

11 From you he has come out [one who] plots on Yahweh evil a counselor of worthlessness.

From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.

12 Thus - he says Yahweh though complete and thus numerous and thus they will be cut down and he will pass away and I have afflicted you not I will afflict you again.

This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.

13 And now I will break yoke-bar his from on you and fetters your I will tear apart.

For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”

14 And he has commanded on you Yahweh not it will be sown from name your again from [the] house of gods your I will cut off idol and molten image I will make grave your for you are insignificant.

The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”

15 There! on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace celebrate a festival O Judah festivals your pay vows your for not he will repeat again (to pass *Q(k)*) in you a worthless person all of him it will be cut off.

Look to the mountains— the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
